- 13In a system flow chart or a data flow chart, which shape represents the input or outputparallelogram
- 14In a system flow chart or a data flow chart, which shape represents the direction of data flowarrow
- 15What is the difference between the data flow chart and the system flow chart?The system flow chart has a decision (yes or no) whereas the data flow chart does not
- 16What is ROMMemory that cannot be changed by a program or user. ROM retains its memory even after the device is turned off. ROM stores the instructions for the computer to turn back on.
- 17What is RAMA fast temporary memory in which programs, applications and data are stored. If a computer loses power, all data stored in it's RAM is lost
